Advertising itself isn't a bad communication strategy and I think many developers are fine with it, they simply don't want propoganda. Raise my awareness of something useful I'm not aware of and then be honest about it, don't make absurd claims and don't skip cons (I know, business types only want to ever speak in the positive, especially in marketing). If you give me a fair assessment of something without BS, I can be happy with the benefits when I understand the shortcomings. The second I see all these omissions, which is everywhere, is the second you're put in the BS until proven otherwise box by default. Developers trust other devs because other devs tend to give you this information and don't paint everything as rosy perfection.
